The Electronic/Electrical Engineering Apprenticeship is delivered over approximately a three year period. You will attend college one day a week.

As an Electronic Engineering Apprentice you will help to research, design and develop precision electronic components and equipment in a range of industries. Your duties will usually include:

·         Assessing new developments or innovations to see if they are workable

·         Drawing up technical plans using computer assisted engineering and design software

·         Testing prototypes

·         Building and installing electronic systems used in computer-aided manufacturing

·         Finding and fixing machinery faults

As an Electrical Engineering Apprentice you will help to design, build, maintain, install and repair electrical equipment and controls. You will follow engineering instructions and using wiring and circuit diagrams when working on installations and repairs. You will also use a range of tools to calibrate, inspect and test equipment and machinery to make sure they are working correctly and safely.
